all banged up.

monday morning i'll be perfectly honest. i approach this coming week with a tinge of cynicism. i've become numb to the meaning of valentine's day. i've lost all interest in work simply because i'm about to head overseas and i'm really just trying to regain focus. it doesn't help that i've got a mild concussion to contend with. all pretty banged up. physically, mentally and emotionally.

3 weeks. that's all there is left. what's to come in this 3 weeks i forsee, is just meeting up with people i feel i've neglected the past 2 months. people like shuren, sangar, shaun, ivan, grace, emily, brandon, reena and maybe to a certain extent delin. the past 2 months has been a roller coaster of emotions, events and well, let's just say i feel there are more positives than negatives despite all that i wrote about in previous entries.

last week was pretty much a stale week. physio as usual was a killer though i think i've improved in terms of my strength and endurance of my right leg. feels a lot more like normal now. if there's ever such a thing as normal to begin with. went down to CPC for my interview/briefing with regards to taiwan. so that was it for NS activities. friday was one hell of a day. woke up real early and headed down to suntec to get some photos printed. think it was worth it though. julian came over at 4 to help prepare dinner. and i won a bet that the sisters would come at 7.45pm. haha. oh well. think the dinner was alright, could have been better i think. had dessert courtesy of the sisters and wine at my rooftop garden. view of the stars was great. unfortunately the breeze decided to stop that night so it wasn't as cooling as i would have wanted it to be. opened a second bottle of wine (my dad's atletico or something like that, don't know how to spell it. hah) after they left. so it was julian and my family sitting around the table just having a chat. was great.

sunday was a rest day of sorts. head was throbbing the whole day. kenn and his family came over for lunch with my dad doing the honors this time round. so it was a pretty good lunch. went out to funan to look at some games for my pc but was quite disappointed. ended up buying fifa07 for my psp. oh. looking at a new phone too. dopod d810 or the ipaq rw6800. both are pda phones and i think i'll need them for my new posting as well as uni. so yeah. a long term investment. hah.

and so. as how i started this post, i'll end it with a bit of cynicism. why's valentine's day special when everyday could be a valentine's day on it's own? what's with the jacking up of prices and such? commercialization that's why. and due to events that have panned out over the past month or so, i guess i'm going to be saving some money this time round. first time in 4 years since i "needed" to spend on someone for that "special" day. hah. someone help me get back my positive and fun outlook in life. please. i hate this cynical, pessimistic, emotional me. i HATE it. =(
